I think Dr. Cameron may be referring to the denim shirt as a Senior Mentor shirt.

Well... We arrived on a Monday afternoon, presented on Tuesday and left on Wednesday. We met a lot of people (there were 18,000 people at the conference). We didn't even get time to tour the Alamo. We didn't "Remember the Alamo"; we're probably permanently barred from returning to Texas.

We should have contacted you, but...

While the robot on the left probably looks like it could have been constructed from a single FTC kit, the one on the right is definitely composed of two, possibly even three or more, of the current "still a work in progress" FTC kits based on the quantity of the gears and wheels they used.

(Most of the pictures of the FTC "competition kit" only show two large aluminum gears, four medium aluminum ones, and four small aluminum ones, along with four of each size wheel).

Okie doke. I don't think the Alamo is going anywhere anytime soon. Also, San Antonio has a beautiful zoo. If compared to other zoos, one might say it is small but it is pristine and rich in flora as well as fauna. If you ever come back and have the opportunity, it is worth a visit. Hope you had a good time in Texas - 18,000 people - woo!
